News, Events, Press and Awards

The UK’s leading supermarkets, independent stores and ecommerce sites were honoured at the 2018 Drinks Retailing Awards at London’s Dorchester Hotel on Tuesday evening.

The DRAs are the drinks trade’s biggest annual highlight, bringing together the leading lights in retail and rewarding the greatest innovators. Competition was fierce as the awards received a record number of entries, but a rigorous judging process eventually named 24 overall winners. The awards are run by trade magazine Drinks Retailing News and editor Martin Green was joined on stage by comedian Kerry Godliman to hand out gongs to retailers that stood out as the best in the business over the past year.

Hatch Mansfield sponsors of the Independent Wine Retailer Award were delighted to present this year's award to Sam and Charlotte Brown of Vino Vero
